As the hot day in California passed, the sun gradually moved to the west, emitting the last sunset, still so bright that it could not be seen directly.

The air that was burned all day long seemed to be filled with the stuffy heat that could not be dissipated, marking that Los Angeles has entered the most unrestrained season of the year, and the North American theater market has also ushered in the most important period of the year, the summer season.

This year's summer season is obviously different from previous years. Just a few days into May, fans are about to usher in the first wave of carnival. Starting on May 14th, two huge investment productions will be released this weekend, full of stuffy and irritable air, just like the last tranquility before the war begins.

In front of the Beverly Temple Grand Theater, the red carpet was spread far away to welcome the celebrities and big names who came to help the platform and the crew's main creators.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional one, but the premiere that should have started at 6 o’clock in the evening, the Hulk temporarily changed the time and started the entry one hour early.

The production cost of this video Universal Pictures is an exaggerated $150 million. In fact, the media group's tricks of left-handedness and right-handedness are understood by both the media group and the media.

But even if the moisture contained in it is removed, the production cost of the film will not be less than 100 million US dollars. If the large-scale promotion revenue before the film is released, it is very likely to exceed the 150 million US dollars announced by Universal Pictures.

A large group of ordinary movie fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet. At least Dr. Robert Bruce Banner's huge popularity ensures that the film is definitely not lacking in the attention of ordinary movie fans.

Universal Pictures’ plan this year is quite intentional and full of luck. The previous hits of "Batman: The Moment of War" and "The Joker" successfully awakened the fans' desire for superheroes in advance. However, Warner Bros. did not release the DC comic adaptation masterpiece this year, so this only superhero "Hulk" has become the only expectation of most movie fans.

Regardless of whether you are lucky or not, Hulk will be a popular monster that started this summer. It can be seen from the hundreds of fans who came spontaneously that as long as the movie quality reaches normal levels, box office numbers will naturally be guaranteed.

"Dr. Banner! Dr. Banner!"

"Hey, Hulk!"

"Big guy, look here..."

After the hot scenes of the previous several celebrities, around 5:20, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, the actor of the film, Lu Ferrino, walked on the red carpet alone.

Because of the intensive publicity some time ago and the huge movie posters outside the theater, as soon as he walked on the red carpet, it caused cheers and screams from movie fans. Journalists from various media areas carried long guns and short cannons, and at the same time pointed the equipment at this big guy.

This is the third time this star, who has always been with the Hulk in his career, has played this role. Just like Jack Nicholson's clown before, he has a very special position in the hearts of movie fans. As soon as Hulk is mentioned, his face and exaggerated big guy will automatically pop up in his mind.

In fact, this is the case. From 1977 to 1982, Lu Ferino played the role of Hulk in CBS's TV series "The Hulk", and the starring him in two movies "The Hulk" in 1988 and 1989.

When the animated version of "Hulk" was broadcast in 1996, he was still the voice actor of Hulk, as well as Ang Lee's version of "Hulk" and "Invincible Hulk" directed by Louis Lightrier, he participated in it and dubbed the film.

Even in "Avengers" directed by Jos Whedon in 2012, he still dubbed the Hulk, so the actor's career has never left the Hulk, and there is no role that can be taken advantage of.

"It seems that we have no problem with the choice of the male lead."

Behind the media interview area of ​​the Temple Grand Theater, film producer Brian Glazer, looked at the fans on both sides of the red carpet cheering fiercely, and said to Justin beside him with a smile. "Lu is simply born to be the best performer of Hulk, and there is no obstacle for fans to accept it."

After waiting for a while, I found that there was no response. I turned around and found that the distribution director of Universal Pictures, Justin was holding a newspaper, and the film director Bill Bakerby was also watching it. Both of them were paying attention to the newspaper and didn't hear anything he said.

This is obviously a copy of the Los Angeles Times. The two people who read the newspapers didn't look very good. Brian Glazer was very surprised. What did the two people who were full of confidence ten minutes ago see?

"What news is published?"

As he said that, he moved forward a few steps, stood beside the two of them, and looked at the newspaper with his head tilted.

"You can read it yourself." Justin sneered, handed him the newspaper directly, and then turned to look at Bill Bakerby. "Don't be affected by the things above, you've done a great job. As long as the fans accept the box office at a high enough level, he will regret saying these words."

The director of the film, which was also not very good-looking, nodded. "I understand."

Brian Glazer, who took the newspaper, saw the headlines in the entertainment sector at first sight and understood why the two of them were like this.

‘Who is Bill Bakerby? A nameless man who imitates me to shoot a movie?!’

'On the eve of the release of the film "Hulk", our reporter successfully interviewed two superhero movie directors, Wayne Greenberg and Tim Burton, one of whom brought Batman to the fans, and the other made Batman into the most successful superhero movie.

Two big directors with strong personal style showed clear disdain for the upcoming "Hulk". Director Wayne Greenberg said in an interview that he had never heard of an unknown person like Bill Bakerby, and he was not optimistic about films that imitate his own shooting style.

Before the interview ended, Gothic genius director Tim Burton said that since Wayne entered Hollywood, people have been imitating his shooting style. It was absurd black horror film, and then a drama film that reflects social reality. Until now, no director has successfully copied his style. This time, "The Hulk" is still the same. Wayne Greenber format movies are not something that can be imitated by just a nameless person...'

“son of a bxxxh!”

Although he was not the film director, Brian Glazer still felt the insult that came to his face. On the eve of the upcoming release of "The Hulk", he said such words in the media, which was Chiloro's provocation to them.

The most important thing is that such remarks are very deceptive and must have great persuasiveness among ordinary movie fans. Just because the two people who say this are Wayne Greenberg and Tim Burton, this will definitely affect the viewing choices of some movie fans.

"Bill, don't take these to heart." Brian Glazer stretched out his hand and patted the director of the film on the shoulder. "Only the success of the film can be successful is the most powerful proof of the other party in the face."

Bill Bakerby's face was gloomy and his voice was hoarse. "Don't worry, I have no problem here. I'll go in and greet others first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Temple Theater, completely gone from his previous high spirits.

Since Universal Pictures found him to restart "The Hulk", Bill Bakerby was not ready to shoot in a dark and serious style, but this place is Hollywood centered in the producer. In order to retain the right to participate in the later stage, he had to shoot according to the producer's wishes.

If someone said to deliberately imitate others in private, he would never have any emotional fluctuations. When all this was put on the media and seen by countless movie fans, things obviously became different.

To put it bluntly, there are many places in this film that deliberately imitates Batman. Whether it is the story structure or the spatial layout, they cannot escape the shadow of the war. Universal Pictures is quite satisfied with the edited film, but simply because of this production style, it is the safest way.

Bill Bakerby has already anticipated some consequences. Regardless of whether the film is successful or failed, he is just an imitator in the eyes of movie fans, which is the biggest bad news for a director who has pursuit.

The appearance of this report completely broke all his luck mentality, and instantly made him feel that the grand premiere ongoing became boring.

"Brian, we will start the nationwide publicity tomorrow. Be optimistic about him and don't let him talk to the media!" Justin whispered to remind him in a low voice as he looked at Bill Bakerby's back.

"I will."

Producer Brian Glazer shrugged. Sometimes he could not understand the film director's ideas at all. In his eyes, those so-called persistences in front of box office benefits are simply not considered a nonsense.

At this time, he dared to swear to God that if the same situation was put on Wayne Greenberg, that young Jewish man would never have thought about it. Those who could succeed in the circle had already seen through the essence of Hollywood. Only losers would hold on to the so-called art and not let go.

The premiere of the Temple Grand Theater was held quickly, and the press conference of the crew's main creators was placed behind. After the guests and crew's main creators walked across the red carpet, a large number of lucky fans, invited media, and the film critics mixed in began to enter the venue. The film officially began to be screened at exactly 6 pm.

Not far from the Beverly Temple Grand Theater, in front of the Hollywood Chinese Theater, another premiere has just begun.

It was almost the same scene, the only difference was that there were many more fans on the scene. They once caused the sensitive nerves of the security personnel on the scene. Fortunately, Warner Brothers suffered a loss and contacted the Los Angeles Police Department in advance.

"Boss, the video has begun to be officially screened there!" Nina hung up the mobile phone and looked up at the boss opposite. "And we have just started..."

Looking at the car lined up in front of him, Wayne waved indifferently. "Just some small means, starting first may not necessarily seize any opportunity. You can go to the theater and wait for us."
